My artwork objectifies the lifelike facades and childlike ambiance reflected in popular amusement institutions and explores the way our culture
attains a sense of happiness through the delusional remolding of reality. Theatrical elements are naturalistically integrated and combined with
children’s toys to create a suspension of space and time. My work experience in businesses that specialize in the cultivation of this phenomenon
has left me with a mixed sense of apprehension and affection. These facades have unfortunately become the ‘new reality,’ but this faux entity,
in some respects… is my reality.
My artwork highlights my entangled affiliation with faux authenticity and reflects upon the psychology that these exaggerated experiences provide.
